We serve Utah and its residents by 1) producing relevant, trustworthy, and applicable research; 2) creating and gathering valuable resources; and 3) convening trainings and events that inform, inspire, and ignite growth and change for all Utahns. The UWLP was founded in 2009 by Dr. Susan R. Madsen, who leads this work as part of her faculty position at Utah State University.
